LOS ANGELES — Angelina Jolie has been sitting on the back of her fresh residence, describing why she would like to conserve the entire world, when duty called. Her youngest boy, Knox, 9, poked his little blonde head across the door.

“Shi?” Ms. Jolie known, before disappearing with a whoosh of her dark caftan. Ten minutes after, she had been backagain. Shiloh’s beloved bearded monster, Vlad, had fallen sick and was today, to Shiloh’s distress, convalescing in the vet. “That is going to be the remainder of my daily life,” Ms. Jolie said, settling in to a padded patio seat, “learning about the health problems of the Egyptian dragon”

Ms. Jolie proceeded to lament the imbalance in a planet in which Californian pets get palliative care while countless people all over the world lack access to appropriate medical therapy. It went unmentioned she had been stating that from her 25 million two-acre hilltop property, at a gated pocket of the Los Feliz area, a house she purchased for herself and her six kids from the spring, after her separation from Brad Pitt.

Maybe more than any other actor, Ms. Jolie, 42, has maintained himself firmly implanted in two vastly different worlds. She is equally the glamorous A-lister whose every movement is monitored in tune (“Angie and the children left Target since it did not serve hot dogs,” read a recent newsflash), along with also the humanitarian do-gooder who’s made over 60 trips into the area as a portion of her United Nations work. Apparent contradictions accounts for her evasive allure. Ms. Jolie was enduringly tough to counter, a lady who can’t readily be lumped into one class because she occupies several simultaneously.

She’s a peerless glamazon in addition to the women’s health advocate that informed the world on her diagnostic dual mastectomy. She’s a meticulously handled public profile yet professes to not care what other people believe. She stays close to the pinnacle of star’s unkind pyramid, though her current films just made money when she had been camouflaged (“Maleficent,” “Kung Fu Panda”). She’s obsessed — though, at the USA at least, maybe not just loved — and mended at the cultural firmament because America’s vixen despite using a half-dozen powerful brood.

And although the public desire for salacious details of her private life has eclipsed interest from the movies she’s led, Ms. Jolie doggedly attracts rough, vague stories into the display. Three of those four films she’s made are put in wartime, such as her newest, “First They Killed My Father,” according to the real story of Loung Ung, that like a young woman endured the Cambodian genocide and is currently one of Ms. Jolie’s intimate pals.

Even though Ms. Jolie’s previous films garnered heated reviews, many critics have anointed “First They Killed My Father” her finest yet. It’s told entirely in the tiny woman’s standpoint, in Khmer, also got a standing ovation in the Telluride Film Festival, in which it was its premiere. Netflix was going to start loading it on Sept. 15, as it will open in a few theaters.

Ms. Jolie stated she couldn’t have left the film hadn’t first led “From the sea of Blood and Honey” (2011) regarding the Bosnian war, and “Unbroken” (2014), depending on the real story of the American G.I. shot captive in World War II. (She also Mr. Pitt surfaced as a married couple closed in a different sort of battle within her 2015 play, “From the Sea”).

“It was not a conscious strategy of, I had been planning to make war movies, it is just exactly what I had been attracted to,” she explained.

Ms. Jolie has an amazing link to Cambodia, not since it totally reordered her entire life. Before visiting 2000 to take “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” she was a Hollywood wild child, a ravishing Goth weirdo who, in the Oscars that dressed just like Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, also closed lips with her own brother. She got openly thick and hot with her next husband, Billy Bob Thornton, also wore a locket with droplets of his blood round her neck.

The elegance and humility she found at the Cambodian men and women, together with the lasting impacts of the genocide, threw Hollywood lifetime to unflattering relief.

“After you become exposed to what is really going on in the Earth, along with other people’s betrayal, you simply can not ever never understand, and you can not wake up up and pretend it is not happening,” she stated, “Your whole life changes.”

“The true will to endure, along with the potency of the human soul, and also the love of their human family gets so current, and that is the way we should be alive,” Ms. Jolie stated. “When you are about it, it is quite infectious, and you understand to learn from this{}”

The atmosphere pushed in close and hot as she talked, and the sunlight was increasing its way around a broiling midday. I had been but keeling over, however, Ms. Jolie, that loves the warmth, was written as a sphinx. (We moved into the back climes of the kitchen{})

Ms. Jolie is a comprised and poised existence, yet also mild breaking every now and into lilting laughter. She’s visually appealing as she looks onscreen; the sculpted lines of her encounter along with the delicate order’s of her mouth and eyes create hers an amazing beauty. Though minor because of sylph, she states she does not exercise, outside slipping into the pool along with her children and vaguely planning to jump onto a treadmill.

Though it was August, the kids — Maddox, ” Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, Knox and his twin, Vivienne — had started home college. They’d be accompanying her into the Telluride and Toronto film festivals — Maddox has an executive producer credit on the movie — and so were making up for missing lesson moment, working with coaches in a variety of corners of the home, learning, among other matters, Arabic, and sign vocabulary and physics.

I requested Ms. Jolie when she felt as the trainer of a little group, and she responded that more frequently she believed a portion of a fraternity.

“They truly help me much. We are such a device,” she explained. “They are the best friends I have ever had. Nobody in my lifetime has slipped {}”

That previous sentence suspended in the atmosphere, maybe a subtle allusion to, or indictment of, Mr. Pitt, that embraced Maddox, Pax and Zahara, and is the biological father of Shiloh, both Knox and Vivienne. The dissolution of the 12-year amorous venture arrived last September, following an episode aboard a private jet supposedly involving Mr. Pitt and Maddox — motivated her to file for divorce.

Soon later, Ms. Jolie and the children moved from Mr. Pitts’s estate, residing in a lease for nine weeks as she fought with the choice about whether to purchase a new residence.

“It took a couple of months to understand I was going to get to get it done. There will get to become another foundation irrespective of everything,” she stated, her voice dropping silent and low, since it’d every time that the topic of the split originated. “There will get to become a house. Another dwelling.”

The new home, a Beaux Arts manse which was formerly the house of this legendary filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille, is a beaut, using a library, rolling yards, cascading fountains which burble in the swimming pool, and a perspective of the Griffith Observatory. Ms. Jolie had an elaborate treehouse assembled — ” a parkour treehouse,” she explained — and the children helped decorate and select out the furniture for the entire home. They’ve got an arrangement, Ms. Jolie stated, that not everybody is able to agree on what, but you need to attempt and enjoy it if you do not despise it. Should you hate it, then you can overrule.

“It’s lots of minutes,” Ms. Jolie said of this house, “It is happy. Joyful and mild, and we had {}.”

I inquired how everybody is doing today.

“None of it is simple. It is very, very hard, an extremely distressing situation, and I only want my loved ones healthy,” she explained gently.

Are they? “They are getting much better,” she stated, her voice upcoming inaudibility.

She intimated that “First They Killed My Father” could have educated her choice to depart Mr. Pitt. The movie centers around Ms. Ung’s relatives, a few of whom lived, and also Ms. Jolie said she believed a lot for what family intended during creation, and the way they ought to help one another and treat one another (the movie was adapted from Ms. Ung’s 2000 publication of the exact same title).

“Loung had these horrors in her own life but also had much love, and that’s the reason why she is all right now,” Ms. Jolie stated. “That’s something I want to recall.”

Determined to produce the movie as possible as you possibly can, Ms. Jolie awakened together with the Cambodian director Rithy Panh, who received an Oscar nomination for his 2014 documentary, “The Missing Picture,” and enjoyed tens of thousands of Cambodians as extras. Ms. Jolie stated Maddox was her straight man person, focusing on the script, even taking meeting notes and bantering with Mr. Panh at French. A few of the scenes have been taken on massacre websites, or so the crew organized for Mothers to pray and place out offerings and incense ahead.

“She’s loved that there,” explained Mr. Panh, that functioned as a producer on the movie. He added he was struck by Ms. Jolie’s humility, and also the way she hauled with the kids on place, regardless of her shaky grasp of the language. (Ms. Jolie stated a proposal in Vanity Fair that kids were hoodwinked from the casting procedure was “that a mischaracterization”).

As our meeting wrapped, Ms. Jolie said she’d later work on a humor. “I’ll get amusing at some stage,” she stated, adding she had been operating on “Maleficent two,” a sequel to the Disney fractured fairy story. “This was somewhat amusing,” she said, wryly.

Ms. Jolie also appeared aware of the way she could be beheld from the general public; the eliminated ice queen into Mr. Pitt’s affable down-home Missouri boy (his showing interview at the summer issue of GQ Style aided burnish his image since the relatable one). But she climbed up a punk at college, she stated, and has been used not to fitting into, and being some who had remarks about.

“I don’t hope to be the one which everybody knows or enjoys,” Ms. Jolie explained, walking down me drive, “And that is O.K., since I know I am, along with the children know who I’m”

She immediately embraced me and I put off to sunlight and the warmth, as the significant safety gate gradually drew closed behind.
